SECTION B – DETAIL OF DISCUSSION AND PANEL CONCLUSIONS

RATIONALE
3.1
Peterborough has been identified by HEFCE (POLAR Data) as one of the UK’s main ‘cold
spots’ in respect of higher education provision, progression to HE and participation rates. It
has also been identified by the Government growth agenda as a sub-region in need of
significant ‘upskilling’ and the addition of these pathways will go some way to improving the
access to appropriate HE qualifications within the greater Peterborough area.
3.2
With regard to the proposed BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance, there is a total of 670
business units (defined by ONS as registered for PAYE/VAT 2005-2007) providing financial
intermediation in the Peterborough catchment area. A total of 13,235 people are employed
in those businesses (ONS 2008). The University Centre Peterborough (UCP) catchment is
characterised by hard to reach organisations and potential students whose preference is
likely to be for strong local links, smaller class sizes and close relationships with their tutors
and student support. They will tend to prefer ready and easy access to a local institution
rather than extensive travel to more distant sites which will significantly interrupt daily work.
3.3
With regard to the proposed BA (Hons) Tourism Management, there are a significant
numbers of schools and FE colleges acting as feeders for such a pathway. In addition, this
will provide progression opportunities for the new 14-19 Diploma in this field and a variety
of Access to HE courses. Current enrolments at Peterborough Regional College (PRC) are
as follows:
Travel & Tourism Diploma (Level 2)
Travel & Tourism Year 1 (Level 3)
Travel & Tourism Year 2 (Level 3)

Tourism is a top-ten employment sector in Peterborough by concentration relative to UK
average, with a need for increasing diversification, e.g. from agriculture and rural
businesses into these areas and increased growth in leisure-based activities. The proposal
will also build upon existing strong links with potential sector employers ranging from the
corporate headquarters of Thomas Cook to the smaller, independent, award-winning
Travel Counsellors.
PRC has delivered Edexcel’s Tourism Management awards
previously.
3.4
Those who hold a management qualification are unlikely to be qualified above Level 3.
The East of England skills analysis (2002-03) reported that higher skills, in particular
management skills are crucial for improved productivity and the growth of knowledge
industries. The provision of the progression to MSc Management is considered timely and
necessary therefore. Timely in that all recent regional surveys highlight the need for Level
6 and higher training for managers in key industries, all of which are experiencing
downsizing and releasing middle and senior managers to the labour market. As a result
they are actively seeking opportunities to upskill and diversify their individual skillsets prior
to local and regional economic recovery. UCP has 10 students registered on the first year
of the PG Dip Management and 7 students registered on the second year and a strong
Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) course.
3.5
The Anglia Ruskin University/University Centre Peterborough/Peterborough Regional
College Joint Venture Company (JVCo) has agreed to release £40,000 for marketing
initiatives focussed on raising awareness of September 2009 opportunities. With Anglia
Ruskin’s HEFCE employer engagement bid offering a 50% reduction of the fee for HE
pathways the opportunity arises for a relationship-building exercise with the local business
community to pump-prime numbers onto some of these pathways. A school Compact has
already been produced and is currently being rolled out across all eleven local
secondary/VI Form establishments who have supported and joined, approved by
AimHigher.

3.6
Peterborough City Council has been very active over the past twenty years in bringing a
University to Peterborough. The City is very much behind the UCP JVCo, which has been
a legal entity since August 2008. In addition to the new HE building being constructed on
the PRC campus [c.f. paragraph 6.3], Bridge House and Guild House in the city are also
being considered for additional facilities for UCP.

CURRICULUM DESIGN, CONTENT AND DELIVERY
4.1
The Panel queried the choices of designates proposed within each pathway. The Proposal
Team confirmed that eight designate modules had been added to the list for the
postgraduate Management pathway while the BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance provided
students with no choice in their module diet. The Proposal Team continued that the BA
(Hons) Tourism Management has fewer designate modules within its structure. However,
the Panel still felt that the number of designates proposed was considerable when
compared with the number and specialisms of the proposed teaching team. The Proposal
Team explained that not all designates proposed would be offered to students each year
and that more would be available as the student numbers had expanded as the pathway
became established. The proposal sought to achieve manageability with flexibility.
Economies of scale in the delivery of designate modules would be sought wherever
possible between the two undergraduate pathways and UCP’s existing delivery of the BA
(Hons) Business Management and thus it was anticipated early cohorts would be offered
the more generalist business modules than the more specialist modules. However, UCP is
able to sustain a module enrolment of eight students. The Panel urged the Proposal Team
to be aware of managing students’ expectations positively and to be cautious of marketing
the full designate list if all modules would not be offered later.
4.2
The Panel pursued the discussion by enquiring whether full-time and part-time students
would be co-taught. The Proposal Team confirmed that they would, in part. Due to the
larger credit accumulation of full-time students they would be registered on more modules
per semester than the part-time students but for half the full-time students’ study they
would be co-taught with part-time students. Many modules would be taught twice a week
however to accommodate both modes of delivery and across all undergraduate business
pathways. The Proposal Team confirmed that the maximum cohort numbers identified
would be across both delivery modes.
4.3
The Panel noted that an Independent Learning Module had been included within the
designate lists. The Panel cautioned against an over-reliance on such a module, especially
if registration upon it was as a result of dissatisfaction with the alternative designate
modules available. Independent Learning Modules can become time-consuming for tutors
and costly for the institution.
4.4
The Panel explored the curriculum management of modules and the development of
teaching materials. The Proposal Team explained that each module is allocated a Module
Leader at the main campus who develops a Module Guide, which includes teaching
materials and the assessment which must be undertaken by all students registered on the
module globally. It was acknowledged that the extent of teaching materials provided by the
Faculty’s Module Leader varies between individuals but tutors at collaborative partners are
expected to develop their own additional modules and localise the materials where
necessary, while following the schedule outlined by the Faculty. While UCP does not have
Teaching Fellows students do benefit from Teaching & Learning Specialists who are
developing interactive teaching patterns. Additionally, students and tutors access further
materials uploaded onto Anglia Ruskin’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), WebCT. The
Proposal Team was confident that its HE students experienced a good mix of teaching
strategies. Furthermore, PRC has pledged money within their corporate plan to develop
their VLE.

Confirmed
4.5
The new UCP building [c.f. paragraph 6.3] would provide the pathway teams with a large
lecture capacity to add to their teaching methods. Video-streaming will also be available
within the new lecture theatre. Opportunities to link with lectures on the main campus may
be explored in the future. The current BA (Hons) Business Management delivery extends
invitations to the Faculty’s lecturers to give one or two sessions each semester. These
guest lectures would be available to students on the new pathways where appropriate.
Furthermore, UCP is in the process of developing an open lecture series, to be opened by
Anglia Ruskin’s Vice-Chancellor. The Panel noted that Natural England has an office in
Peterborough and its Head Office is in Sheffield. Opportunities to link with such
organisations and invite guest speakers could be available.
4.6
The Panel noted that the BA (Hons) Tourism Management pathway required a field trip to
be undertaken by all students. The Proposal Team confirmed that they already organised
field trips to Barcelona and Paris for their FE students.
5
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
5.1
The Panel acknowledged that the assessment strategies for the pathways were varied and
that UCP would be following the assessment strategy as defined in the Pathway
Specification Forms (PSFs) and Module Definition Forms (MDFs). The Proposal Team
explained that many of the modules have formative assessment activities on WebCT.
Quizzes are often set by the Faculty in Weeks 6-7. The Panel was pleased to hear about
the formative assessment activities as the MDFs did not detail these.
5.2
The discussion continued with regard to assessment. The Proposal Team confirmed that
peer assessment is used within their current assessment strategy and students are keen to
identify colleagues’ poor Harvard referencing, etc. Group presentations have also been
found to benefit from peer assessment.
6
STAFFING, LEARNING RESOURCES AND STUDENT SUPPORT
6.1
The Panel was invited to tour the learning resources available to University Centre
Peterborough at Peterborough Regional College. The Panel saw several teaching rooms
accommodating approximately forty with moveable furniture to enable lecture-style and
group teaching activities. The Proposal Team explained that the rooms were re-equipped
with SMART boards and light box projectors through monies received for the College’s
CoVE status. The Panel was informed that laptops are available to borrow by students
from a central pool of IT resources. An IT suite is available in the floor above the main
business and management teaching rooms. The Panel was taken to the student café and
observed a number of vending machines for snack food and drinks around the College.
6.2
The Panel was shown around the College Library by a librarian. The librarian confirmed
that texts are bought in alignment with the recommended texts from Module Leaders and
copies are allocated as one reference copy, one short-term loan, and the remainder as
standard loans. The Programme Committees offer students an opportunity to request
more copies of a text to be made available either by reducing the number of texts on
standard loan or by purchasing additional copies. The Library operates an off-air recording
service enabling students to borrow copies of television programmes, etc, which is in the
process of being copied from VHS to DVD. Study areas are also available, which can be
booked by students, for self-directed group work.
6.3
The Panel was informed that the majority of teaching on the proposed pathways would be
undertaken in the new UCP building. The Panel was shown architects’ drawings of the new
£75 million building and was able to observe its construction opposite the current College
campus. The new building will provide state-of-the-art teaching rooms, a large lecture hall
Quality Assurance Division

Confirmed
and conference rooms, as well as housing a small HE study area, a café and a 'one-stop
shop' student support centre for the exclusive use of Higher Education students. The
building will have its own JANET link so complications with firewalls, etc, experienced
previously with the PRC link should no longer be an issue, thereby improving students’
access to Anglia Ruskin’s electronic resources. The construction is currently running
ahead of schedule and is expected to be available for habitation from September 2009.
6.4
The Panel was invited to visit the College’s travel agency, The Travel Place. Open from
Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 2.30pm, The Travel Place is an independent travel
agent, offering a wide variety of holidays, foreign currency ordering service and airfare
quotations to students and staff. The facility was felt to be a valuable resource for the BA
(Hons) Tourism Management enabling students to appreciate the travel industry with a
potential for work experience also.
6.5
The Panel queried the teaching teams for the proposed pathways. The Proposal Team
explained that, under the JVCo Agreement, UCP draws tutors from PRC. PRC operates a
rigorous continuing professional development (CPD) programme with new academic staff
not already in possession of a teaching qualification required to achieve one within two
years of their appointment. Tutors are required to pursue an ongoing CPD programme
reporting to their appropriate Curriculum Director. Where appropriate, individuals may be
recommended to register for a PhD. PRC’s Human Resources Department is in the
process of reconsidering the HEA agreement it has with Anglia Ruskin and the College is
joining Anglia Ruskin for CISCO updating. The Proposal Team believed that the crosscurriculum/cross-disciplinary teaching teams which the proposals would develop would be a
strength to UCP’s business and management provision.
6.6
The Proposal Team explained that UCP and PRC had a well-established partnership with
the Ashcroft International Business School (AIBS). Previously the partnership has not been
strong in taking academic research into further papers and/or PhD registrations but the
Faculty has a vision to be a practice-based business school with case study materials being
brought into colleagues’ teaching.
6.7
The Panel noted that, as detailed in the CVs, the number of tourism and accounting
specialists appeared to be very few. The Proposal Team confirmed that new staff would be
sought in readiness for the second year of delivery if this approval event was successful.
One tourism specialist had already been appointed and there remained a further tourism
vacancy. Two further vacancies were to be filled within the management discipline area.
The Panel noted that the approval document included a statement that ‘AIBS can provide
the management expertise and subject knowledge to support in the local delivery …’
(Document 1, pg 5) and queried whether the Faculty would be expected to fill any gaps in
the delivery team. The Proposal Team confirmed that this was not the case and that the
statement referred to AIBS’ role in managing the pathway content and providing Module
Guides, etc. The Panel noted that several specialist accounting modules were to be
delivered by a tutor with a first degree in Psychology. The Proposal Team confirmed that
the tutor did hold accountancy qualifications but that these had not been detailed in the CV
submitted. The Panel agreed that the delivery team proposed currently were well-able to
deliver the BA (Hons) Tourism Management at Level 1 but that additional specialists would
need to be appointed to deliver the pathway at Levels 2 and 3.
6.8
The Proposal Team explained that Liz Knight, PRC’S Curriculum Director (Arts & Science),
was working with our University to develop cross-discipline work in Personal Development
Planning (PDP). The proposal is to link PDP with students’ employability. PDP is
embedded within AIBS’ pathways within the Learning & Skills Development in Business,
Research Skills and Undergraduate Major Project modules. However, it is proposed that
UCP students will also undertake the local PDP project.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ENHANCEMENT
7.1
The Panel noted that the proposed pathways would follow the same processes as the
existing AIBS provision at UCP with students receiving an AIBS-derived Module Guide, the
same assessment undertaken by students globally, students’ assessments moderated by
the Faculty and ratified by the Faculty’s Department Assessment Panel and externally
scrutinised by AIBS’ External Examiners within a global sample. The module tutors would
be invited to the Faculty’s Moderation Days as currently and the Pathway Leaders would
be invited to the Faculty’s Business & Management Discipline Network Group.
8
NATIONAL, PROFESSIONAL AND STATUTORY BODY REQUIREMENTS
8.1
It was confirmed that neither pathway was subject to the requirements of a national,
professional or statutory body, although completion of the BSc (Hons) Accounting &
Finance provided graduates with exemptions from some accounting professional bodies’
units.
9
DOCUMENTATION
9.1
One member of the Panel in particular had considered the Student Handbooks in
considerable detail and agreed to forward her referenced notes to the Proposal Team for
their reference. The Panel urged the Proposal Team to be clear and consistent in their use
of terms, e.g. MDFs or Module Guides. The Panel recommended that the Proposal Team
bring forward the more helpful information contained with the Student Handbooks, such as
how to check your Anglia e-mail account. Additionally, the Panel recommended simply
referencing the source document for information and regulations through a web link, etc,
rather than copy verbatim the complementary document. Furthermore, the Proposal Team
was recommended to check for typographic errors.

MISCELLANEOUS
10.1
The Panel thanked the Proposal Team for their hospitality and their robust answers to the
Panel’s questions.
11
CONFIRMATION OF STANDARDS OF AWARDS
11.1
The Panel confirmed that the proposed delivery of the BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance,
BA (Hons) Tourism Management and progression to MSc Management pathways satisfied
the University’s Academic Regulations with regard to the definitions and academic
standards of Anglia Ruskin awards and, hence, the QAA’s Framework for Higher Education
Qualifications.
